Most of us have seen the legendary movie The Lion King, many of us watched it over and over again as kids. There are several songs from the movie, but one song, in particular, has stuck in everyone’s mind. That song is ‘The Lion Sleeps Tonight.’ Most of us could sing it word for word, but probably not as good as Rome and his group of acapella singers.
